CBS Sports has officially announced their schedule for the upcoming 2023 NFL season. CBS begins their 64th season of covering National Football League games. CBS' 2023 NFL schedule is highlighted by exclusive coverage of Super Bowl LVIII from Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, February 11, 2024. Super Bowl LVIII will mark the 22nd time that CBS will televise the league's championship game, the most of any network.

The 2023 regular season slate on CBS, with more than 100 games during the 18 week regular season, is headlined by highly anticipated matchups in the Sunday 4:25 PM (ET) national doubleheader window, the most-watched window in all of television. A brief sampling of featured late games include the AFC Championship between Cincinnati and Kansas City in Week 17, the Jets visiting the Cowboys in Week 2, Buffalo at Kansas City in Week 14, and Philadelphia hosting Buffalo during Week 12 (Thanksgiving weekend).

Last year's Super Bowl champion, the Kansas City Chiefs, have at least eight CBS games scheduled during the regular season. This number is more than double than any other network. The Chiefs have six in the coveted 4:25 PM ET window alongside their Christmas Day game (1:00 PM ET) vs. the Raiders. Among the teams pegged for the national NFL on CBS doubleheader games are the Cowboys, Bills, Bengalsand Jets. Plus, the 2023 schedule includes an enlarged NFC slate with multiple games featuring the Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Packers and 49ers.

The NFL on CBS will continue to serve as the primary home for the American Football Conference (AFC), which contains a star-studded group of signal callers, including Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Josh Allen (Bills), Joe Burrow (Bengals), Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Justin Herbert (Chargers), Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars), Aaron Rodgers (Jets), in addition to two top-five draft picks at QB: Houston's C.J. Stroud and Indianapolis' Anthony Richardson.

Additionally, the NFL on CBS will feature divisional rivalry games on Thanksgiving (Commanders vs. Cowboys) and Christmas (Raiders vs. Chiefs) as well as a full postseason slate, including the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LVIII.

The NFL on CBS' 2023 regular season schedule begins on

The 2023 schedule is bookended with doubleheaders at the start and end of the year (Week 1 & Week 2; Week 17 & Week 18). The Week 1 CBS doubleheader game at 4:25 PM ET is a re-match of Super Bowls XXXIX and LII as DeVonta Smith and the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles face Kendrick Bourne and the New England Patriots. The Patriots plan on honoring legendary quarterback Tom Brady on that day.
